This is a very good recipe to follow for guidelines of the timing used for the pressure cooker. I like the recipe, I changed only 1 ingredient, I used an (8)ounce can of tomatoe sauce in place of the diced tomatoes and 2 cups of beef broth. The pressure cooker adds some water to the recipe . Very Good

I never ate at a Bill Knapp's restaurant, but I do like good vegetable beef soup and this is it! When I wing it, my soup always ends up with too many veggies and not enough broth. This is perfect! I thought it might be a bit bland since there are no spices called for, so I added a little basil, oregano, italian seasoning, bay leaf and garlic powder. I would say the garlic powder is mandatory. I used 1 1/2 lbs of chuck stew beef, a small can of stewed tomatoes which I just cut up myself because I think the stewed tomatoes add more flavor. I used two medium potatoes with the skins left on because my husband wanted more potatoes and I added a can of drained and rinsed great northern beans when I added the tomatoes — could have done with less beans but added them all since I would hae ended up throwing them out and finally, I added a little rough-chop cabbage because I like cabbage in this soup. We topped it off with grated parmasean cheese. I cooked it in a pressure cooker. This will be my go-to veggie-beef soup recipe from now on. You couldn't ask for better - don't forget the buttered artisan bread for dipping - YUM!
